61 Barb. 37 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1871
In 1866, the defendant was the vice president of the Long Dock Company. One Alfred B. Seymour was a contractor with them for building a tunnel under Bergen Hill.

The motion to dismiss the complaint was properly denied. The evidence before the referee, upon the merits, was conflicting, and his decision is final.

The judgment must be affirmed, with costs, and, consequently, Justice Brady’s order should also be affirmed.
Ctirdozo and Geo. G. Barnard, Justices.]
